What is Prison?
Prison is a Minecraft plugin that adds all the features necessary for prison servers. Plugins for prison servers exist already, but many of them are poorly maintained, and the solid ones are paid resources. Prison eliminates the paywall and the updating hassle, and puts a one-stop solution in their place.
What can it do?
Prison has two main components - called modules - that are built-in: mines and ranks.
Mines
- Create mines for players to collect materials.
- Have mines automatically reset after a certain amount of time.
- Interactively edit the composition of your mines.
- Teleport your players to safety during a mine reset, so they don't suffocate.
Ranks
- Create ranks for users to buy.
- Use multiple rank ladders. For example, you could have a prestige ladder, or a donor ladder, etc.
- Run commands when users rank up, to give them access to new permissions or set off fireworks in their place.
- Show rank tags in chat with the help of a chat formatting plugin, such as EssentialsX-Chat.
If you have suggestions for features that you'd like to see, you should create a feature request at our issue tracker and we will get back to you as soon as we can.
Why should I switch to Prison?
If hassle-free updates and zero payments is not enough for you to consider switching to Prison, it doesn't stop there.
- Prison is modular. If you don't want to use a certain feature on your server, you can disable it in just a few keystrokes.
- Prison is completely, 100% open source. This means that your developers can make changes to the plugin to customize your server's experience, if you so desire.
- Prison is and always will be free. While we do ask for donations, all of our code, resources, and binaries are provided free of charge to the Minecraft community.
- New releases are heavily bug-tested. We test every single aspect of every new release of Prison before releasing it to the community. If a release doesn't pass our rigorous update checklist, it is iterated upon until it does. What does this mean for you? Solid updates with minimal bugs for your server.
- Prison is always expanding. We are always looking for ways to expand Prison with features that make your server run more smoothly. Additionally, we are always looking for contributions from the community, be it code contributions, feature requests, bug reports, translations, or documentation.

People have been confused by this. The prefix as of now only shows in plugin messages. I will add prefixes to the chat in 2.1. For now, just add a prefix to your permissions plugin.

Posted Nov 9, 2014I have just installed the plugin for my 1.7.10 prison server. it is great i only have one prob. The ranks prefix for in-game names Exp. [A] <Username>. The [a] part does not show in the chat or for players, But if they do ./rankup it says you ranked up to [A]! Tell me if i did something wrong or do you just not have that done yet. thank you.

There used to be, but I removed it since mines and ranks work together. For example, if you create a mine called First, and a rank called A, you can do /mines addrank First A. (Names don't matter). There will be a lot more mine-rank integration coming in 2.1 and adding an option to disable ranks would be counterintuitive.

Spot on with the changelog! I usually don't release changelogs unless I release a Maven snapshot as well - but I didn't for this one.

Posted Nov 5, 2014Just released an early 2.1 commit on GitHub - if you know how to compile it, it is untested. Use it at your own risk!

Posted Oct 31, 2014Hello, I just wanted to mention that whenever someone ranks up, instead of having a colored "Prison >" It would be "&6Prison &7>". I downloaded the latest build and I don't think theirs a part in the config where you can change it. A very minor error?

Hey, also another question. If I wanted to use a different plugin for Rankups, but keep this for mines, would that be possible some how? I've tried like everything, and nothing works. Your plugin for some reason always overrides /rankup. I've tried making aliases for other plugins, etc, but it doesn't work ;-;
